I agree that Dontos was probably, in addition to the money, trying to help Sansa (he seems pretty sincere at many points, and I doubt he’s that great an actor) — but it suits Baelish to make him look utterly mercenary, since he wants Sansa to trust only him.

I was really disappointed with the show’s handling of Sansa’s escape. Quite apart from removing her own role in it, in the books the escape is a really atmospheric and even strenuous sequence (she climbs down a cliff face, even), whereas in the show it’s just a montage of her being dragged through the streets, which makes escaping look rather easy.

My mind is my weapon. My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer, and I have my mind…and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.

Outstanding updates on the (now sortable) website! I went back and picked up with the corresponding episode to where I am (again) in CoK and heard the very first utterance of “scrawl upon our wall,” hehe 🙂

Thank you for checking out the podcast’s new website, everyone. Wanted to give you the sorting and function you’ve dreamed into reality, iTunes and other routes just wouldn’t do the trick. There’s almost 300 episodes now, it’s about time they’ve been collected into volumes, right?!
